School Starts Thursday, September 4, 2014

The first day of classes for all students is Thursday, September 4, 2014. So please be on time and ready to get started.

There's no escaping the fact that the first day of school can be crazy. Your first day is also the time to bring in school supplies and paperwork. It can help to pack your backpack the night before school starts so you're not scrambling around at the last minute looking for what you need. In addition to packing basic supplies (such as notebooks, pens, and pencils), hunt down any of the school forms that were mailed to your family over the summer: immunization (shot) records, permission slips, and Emergency BLUE CARD.

You'll meet your new teachers, and they'll probably give you an overview of the course syllabus, class rules, what the semester will be like, what supplies you'll need, and expectations of your performance and behavior. Some teachers will jump right into their first lesson, while others may have non-coursework activities planned. It all depends on the class and teacher.

Some Back to School Tips...

From an 11th grade female High School Student:
1. "Don't just start with a positive attitude, keep that attitude throughout the year;it's helpful to your friends and teachers. Also, you'll be more efficient and the year will seem to fly by. Positivity will also help with getting all your work done."

2."Stay organized. School can be frustrating when you're getting a lot of work and papers,so the easiest way not to get stressed is by keeping everything organized. Make sure to have a separate binder for each class; it will make life bearable in high school."

3. "If you're absent for a few days, make sure to get the work you missed. Your teacher is the best one to get you caught up and to explain things to you, because he or she is the expert in the class, not your friends. "

4. "Stay away from the drama. The only bad thing about school is the drama because so many people get sucked into it and it ends up making people feel awful. Drama can take your focus away from your work. If you don't completely focus on the lesson or your homework or even class work you won't understand what is going on. You'll be too focused on what is going on around you. So stay away from drama."

FW: Teen Dating Violence

Subject: Teen Dating Violence

 

FYI

 

 

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month.  Gwen Wright, Executive Director of the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence (OPDV), has asked us to share why the recognition of this month is so important, details about OPDV’s campaigns, and resources for parents and other family members who have questions about teen dating violence.

 

If you’re a grandparent, parent, aunt, uncle, sibling, or even friend to tweens, teens, or young people, you need to know about teen dating violence.  In the U.S. alone, approximately 1 in 3 adolescent girls (estimates up to 35%) is a victim of interpersonal violence.  In a 2011 national study of over 15,000 high school students, 9.4% self-reported they had been physically harmed by their partner and 8% of students had been forced to have sex in the previous 12 months, but less than 3% of teens reported abuse to an authority figure.

 

Preventing teen dating violence and helping teens who are victims begins with talking.  Talk to your children and teens as early as you are able to about what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like.

 

·         Be patient and talk with teens at a time they’re comfortable with and in an environment that feels safe for them.

·         Use different modes of communication to begin a conversation—email, texting, however they prefer to communicate.

·         Serve as a non-judgmental resource.  Let them know abuse is not their fault and that you’ll support the choices they make.

·         Encourage them to call the police if necessary, obtain an Order of Protection or talk to a Domestic Violence specialist in your area and offer to accompany them during the process.

·         Help them create a safety plan so they know what to do in case of future incidents.

·         Print and/or share the poster above to raise awareness about Teen Dating Violence.

·         See OPDV’s Advice for Parents page for more tips.

This year our campaign, “Send a Candy Heart” uses social media to encourage teens and adults alike to pledge specific ways they will work to end dating violence.  Too often teens receive negative messages about relationships or are with partners who degrade them.  Our goal is to send messages pledging to support victims and to work to end teen dating violence.  Sending a heart to someone you know and love lets them know you’re aware of and concerned about dating violence—also that you’re there to help if they need it. 

 

Beginning on “Candy Hearts Day” Thursday, February 6, 2014 and all through February, just use any social media sites you choose to send a message, picture, video, or any other medium to express your pledge to end teen dating violence.  Don’t forget to use the hashtag on all of your platforms: #tdvcandyhearts.
